Along with other lawmakers, Rep. Paul Scott, R-Grand Blanc and chair of the House Education Committee, introduced yesterday a series of bills that would change the way schools can hire, fire, punish and tenure teachers.

"Every student deserves a world-class education," said Scott in a news release. "Michigan is home to world-class teachers. They should be protected from unfair terminations and should be rewarded for their service to our classrooms and communities."

According to a House Fiscal Agency analysis, the bills would revise the state's Teacher Tenure Law,
the Revised School Code, and the Public Employment Relations Act."
